Re: Should I even bother fighting with DH over this?
Posted by muchinluvmichi
I always found that odd, like u cant copy a dvd--but its ok to tape things off the vcr and watch it later or share it with someone else..
personally i think its more an issue "will u allow ur dh" i dont see how its really ur place to stop him, yes ur his wife but ur not his mother, id be really upset if my SO felt it was their right to tell me what to do or not do
I agree and I don't agree.
See, if it's illegal and it's in HER house then she is legally responsible as well.
Damn right I would be telling hubby what he can and can not do when it comes to illegal in my home.

yeah but in the case of how illegal it is--i think its one think if hes bringing crack into the house..obviously id be worried about my involvement if he was caught..but all he wants to do is make copies of movies that he wont even sell..totally different levels of illegal imo

watch it later yes... shareing is where the grey area and debates come in.

Re: Should I even bother fighting with DH over this?
Keep one thing in mind... (this may turn him off)...
A lot of movie DVDs are double capacity DVD-9 DVDs.
Regular DVD-Rs you buy at the store are 4.7 capacity.
You can buy DVD-R 9GB capacity... but they are a couple of dollars EACH. They aren't cheap.
If he wants to copy the movie to a DVD-R 4.7... he will have to use a program like DVD Shrink to compress it to fit on the 4.7 disc. This is a very time consuming process (takes a couple of hours per DVD). You have to do this before you actually burn (you need to be somewhat technically saavy to use this program). You also sacrifice some quality.
You won't have access to the computer while he is doing this.

Re: Should I even bother fighting with DH over this?
Also.... a lot of movies are now copy protected. An average computer user won't be able to beat the copy protection on the DVD.
This means... no copying of a lot of movies. 
Note: I did say "average" computer user (everything is beatable)

I don't think your avatar has ever expressed itself more than I imagine at this very moment.

you quoted me which makes me think you responed to me.. if you reply to OP, don't quote me since what i said is true
techincally...you are allowed to copy dvd's/cd's you own...there is no ownership here since he borrowed it. selling copied software is a whole different street.....
when it comes down to it, we are both saying true and correct things...

Re: Should I even bother fighting with DH over this?
Thanks for all the advice. DH is not the savviest of pc users so I'll just let it drop. I figure when he tries to do it, he'll just get frustrated and give up.

Re: Should I even bother fighting with DH over this?
Not to add a kink into this: but what about if he only copies movies he finds at the library? Most libraries have a decent collection now, and the rentals don't cost anything.
But like DJPill said, he would have to find the software to decrypt it and so on...I've heard it can be very time consuming, and maybe not worth the trouble. It's no longer just the matter of copying from one disc to another, they've gotten smart.
